feeding pond
the koi circle
and circle
…
for the work today
we invest
and sacrifice
our money
energy and time
into for a
better tomorrow
tools required
What do you need to do your job?
mighty swing
the carpenter jumps
out of harm’s way

as we will find out
through experience
put into writing

around 2pm
the pianist sips
matcha
…

origin story
What is your story?
saturday rainfall
streaks of blue smeared
on the window
…
may be big
may be small
or nothing at all
but we can’t deny
or find a reason why
our journey can’t change
as time flies by
slipped our mind
Did you forget something today?
afternoon cooking
the window left ajar
letting bugs in
…
forgetting to do

Are you following the crowd?

How do you view your home?
leaking gutters
a stream becomes
a river on glass
…
a money pit
we see an asset
that not only will
appreciate in value
but more importantly be a place
where we will create
many cherished memories
growing up
What dream are you chasing now?
today is cloudy
the rain never waits
for our umbrellas
…
is not a sign
for us to stop dreaming
or lose our ambition
in fact we should
boldly set off
to find where the wind
will take us next
